Ingredients
Scale
- 40 ml olive oil
- 1 small onion (diced)
- ½ cup red pepper (diced)
- ½ cup corn kernels (cooked)
- ½ cup chick peas (cooked)
- 1 Tablespoon oregano (dried)
- 6 eggs
- 125 ml milk
- 40 ml tomato sauce (2 tablespoons)
- salt and pepper
- 12 flat bread rolls
- 500 gm grated cheddar cheese
- 24 slices of ham (or more if you like)
- 12 pieces of baking paper
- 12 pieces of foil
Instructions
- You will need a dish approximately 30 x 23 cm or 9 x 12 inch. Mine is square. Grease with oil or butter. You’ll also need a fry pan
- Set the oven to 190 C / 360 F.
- Start by making the egg frittata mixture. Heat a fry pan on medium and add the olive oil then the onion and saute till softened. Add the oregano, add red pepper and corn and saute for a couple of minutes without colouring before adding the chickpeas. Stir well.
- Pour the vegetables into the baking dish you prepared earlier
- Beat the eggs, milk, tomato sauce and salt and pepper together till well combined and pour over the vegetables spreading flat.
- Bake the frittata till just firm. Check at 15 minutes and leave in for longer if still not completely set. Depending on your oven it could take 15-25 minutes. (my oven is slow and not fan forced)
- Take the egg out and set aside to cool while you prepare the bread. Cut all the rolls down the middle and open them.
- Pile the slices of ham onto each roll. Top with grated cheese and then a slice of frittata. You should get at least 12 squares from your dish (23 x 30 cm). Measure them out evenly before slicing into squares.
- Once filled put the top on the sandwich and wrap in baking paper and then foil.
- The sandwiches can be popped into the oven in the foil and paper jacket once defrosted for a few hours. This is my favourite way to eat them. When you open them the cheese is melted and hot.They are also fantastic defrosted and popped onto a sandwich press unwrapped.They can also go into a fry pan to be toasted on both sides with the foil on. this saves on washing up. If you need to microwave them, take out of the foil and unwrap a bit before microwaving. This method will give you a very soft melty roll if that’s your thing
Notes
You could add finely cut bacon to your eggs if you want to skip the ham. Just toss 2 finely chopped rashers in with the onions and saute. This will take a little longer as the bacon needs to be heated through well.
